Christmas 2010

Christmas morning started out great! We had a happy girl, and Santa had filled most of our stockings to the brim! Paige joined us in our bed so that we could empty out our stockings and see what treasures we got. We found lots of candy, a paddle ball set, pens, razors and Paige's favorite...RINGS! She has been chewing on them since!
After the stockings we headed out to look at our tree and see what Santa had left there. While we got organized we had our traditional breakfast of sausage puffs. YUM! Somebody got WAY more presents than anyone else...but it's OK, we won't name names. (that is really just her stuff, and we didn't buy most of it)

Santa brought Paige a Glow Worm which was one of her mommy's favorites as a child. She fell asleep half way through...I was surprised she lasted that long!

This is what things looked like at the end...isn't it great!

We had a great time with our little family. Hope everyone else had a great day as well!

Santa Baby!

Paige is all ready for her very first Christmas! She posed for our Christmas letter, met up with Santa, and got to wear the super cute dress her Grandma Barton sent her. She even got to taste a candy cane (not really...it was wrapped...but she chewed on it anyway.)

Merry Christmas!

Two Months Old!

Dang, my kid is cute! Just look at her...she's squishy in all the right places and how can you resist that smile? I know I can't, and neither can her daddy!

Paige is two months old (I know, this post is late). At her two month check-up she weighed in at 12 lbs. 3 oz. and 22 inches. The Doctor said she must eat cream.
She got shots at her two month check-up and cut her first tooth the next day. She is the proud owner of a bottom left tooth, and the right is not far behind. She was only fussy for about a day, but she has slobber bubbles that seem never ending.

I LOVE this picture! This is Paige all wrapped up in one of her favorite blankies. Her Aunt Pam sent it to her and she sleeps with it (or the blanket's twin) every night. She loves to have "nakie time" but sometimes its just too cold in our apartment, so the blanket comes in handy.

Paige also loves bath time, and Mike likes to make bubble sculptures on her, so they play well together.
Here's my two cuties together after church one day. I can't believe how much she looks like Mike's family. I think you can really see it in this picture.

All in all, it's been a great two months...now if only I can get her to sleep longer at night...

Catching Up

It's been a busy few weeks! First off, Paige had a play date with her buddy Harvey. This is them chatting before he had to go home to bed.

Thanksgiving came and Paige got to watch her very first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. (she might have been a bit sleepy through some of it) She watched the Rockettes and kicked right along with them. We practice her routine every day so that she can master those high kicks.

We had some of the Marines from Mike's work come for dinner. I put them to work for a while, but mostly they vegged.

We had a great spread, and LOTS of left-overs.

On a totally different note, Paige sure loves her daddy...she even dresses like him. Can you see her?
